Coinbase 承諾在 2026 年中期選舉之前向 Pro-Crypto Super PAC Fairshake 提供 2500 萬美元

全球最大的加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 已經在展望下週的總統選舉，並計劃影響 2026 年中期選舉

Coinbase is planning to donate $25 million to pro-crypto super PAC Fairshake in 2025, according to FOX Business.

根據 FOX Business 報道，Coinbase 計劃在 2025 年向支持加密貨幣的超級 PAC Fairshake 捐贈 2,500 萬美元。

The donation will be used to influence the 2026 midterm elections and is part of Coinbase’s ongoing effort to keep crypto a key part of the political conversation.

這筆捐款將用於影響 2026 年中期選舉，也是 Coinbase 持續努力讓加密貨幣成為政治對話關鍵部分的一部分。

Coinbase’s latest donation brings the company’s total political spending to $75 million.

Coinbase 的最新捐款使該公司的政治支出總額達到 7,500 萬美元。

Coinbase is one of the largest corporate political spenders in the 2024 election cycle, with more than $50 million donated to various super PACs that are supporting congressional candidates who are favorable of the $2 trillion digital asset industry.

Coinbase 是2024 年選舉週期中政治支出最大的企業之一，向各種超級政治行動委員會捐贈了超過5000 萬美元，這些超級政治行動委員會正在支持那些支持價值2 兆美元數位資產產業的國會候選人。

Coinbase's contributions make up 30% of the more than $170 million donated this year by U.S. crypto giants, like blockchain payments company Ripple and venture capitalist firm Andreessen Horowitz.

Coinbase 的捐款佔區塊鏈支付公司 Ripple 和創投公司 Andreessen Horowitz 等美國加密巨頭今年捐贈的超過 1.7 億美元的 30%。

"We’re in it for the long haul, and we're putting our money where our mouth is and putting a down payment for the ’26 cycle," Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad told FOX Business.

Coinbase 首席政策長 Faryar Shirzad 告訴福克斯商業頻道：“我們是長期投資，我們正在言出必行，並為 26 週期支付首付。”

In addition to the donation, Coinbase is also pledging to help its affiliated advocacy group, Stand with Crypto (SWC), double its membership from 1.8 million to 4 million advocates between now and the midterms.

除了捐款外，Coinbase 還承諾幫助其附屬倡導團體 Stand with Crypto (SWC)，從現在到中期，將其會員人數從 180 萬增加一倍至 400 萬。

SWC has helped educate and mobilize pro-crypto voters over the past year through lobbying efforts in the swing states of Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan and Wisconsin.

過去一年，SWC 透過在亞利桑那州、賓州、內華達州、密西根州和威斯康辛州等搖擺州的遊說活動，幫助教育和動員支持加密貨幣的選民。

According to its website, more than 400,000 users have engaged with SWC's voter registration tool, and the organization has helped register over 100,000 voters in swing states.

根據其網站，超過 40 萬用戶使用了 SWC 的選民登記工具，該組織已幫助搖擺州超過 10 萬選民進行登記。

"I feel like, even without knowing the results of the election, crypto has already won," Shirzad said.

「我覺得，即使不知道選舉結果，加密貨幣也已經贏了，」希爾札德說。

"The number of candidates who are now talking about crypto, who’ve taken pro-crypto positions, the ability that the process has given us to talk to candidates from the presidential all the way down to lower offices, has been extraordinary."

“現在談論加密貨幣、採取支持加密貨幣立場的候選人數量非常多，這一過程使我們能夠與從總統一直到下級辦公室的候選人進行交談，這是非同尋常的。”

Coinbase is betting that crypto will be a key issue for voters in the 2024 election.

Coinbase 押注加密貨幣將成為 2024 年選舉中選民的關鍵議題。

With one in five Americans now owning some form of digital asset, the so-called crypto voter bloc could have a meaningful impact Tuesday as voters head to the ballot box to choose the candidates they feel best represent their financial interests.

由於五分之一的美國人現在擁有某種形式的數位資產，隨著選民前往投票箱選擇他們認為最能代表其經濟利益的候選人，所謂的加密選民聯盟可能會在周二產生有意義的影響。

A recent Harris Poll, done in partnership with crypto asset manager Grayscale, revealed that around 56% of all voters are more likely to vote for a candidate who is "informed about crypto" compared to one who is not.

最近與加密資產管理公司 Grayscale 合作進行的哈里斯民意調查顯示，與不了解加密貨幣的候選人相比，大約 56% 的選民更有可能投票給「了解加密貨幣」的候選人。

Former President Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, has picked up on the potential power of the crypto voter and has been courting the industry with promises of looser regulation and to make the U.S. “the crypto capital of the world.”

共和黨總統候選人、前總統川普已經意識到了加密貨幣選民的潛在力量，並一直以放鬆監管並使美國成為「世界加密貨幣之都」的承諾來吸引該行業。

Vice President Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic nominee in July, has been less vocal about where she stands on crypto but has made some statements that suggest she would be supportive of deploying rules of the road so the industry can keep growing in the U.S.

副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯(Kamala Harris) 在7 月成為民主黨候選人，雖然她對加密貨幣的立場較少直言不諱，但發表了一些聲明，表明她將支持部署道路規則，以便該行業能夠在美國保持成長

While some critics, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have blasted the industry for using its coffers to sway the election to get a favorable return in Washington, Shirzad says the industry is helping give the crypto community a voice.

儘管馬薩諸塞州民主黨參議員伊麗莎白沃倫 (Elizabeth Warren) 等一些批評人士批評該行業利用金庫影響選舉，以在華盛頓獲得有利的回報，但 Shirzad 表示，該行業正在幫助加密貨幣社區發出自己的聲音。

"The fact that 400,000 people signed up as crypto advocates in the two weeks leading up to the FIT21 crypto bill vote in Congress in June gives you a sense of how real the passion is in the community," he said. "So, for sure, there's an industry that's involved in all of this, but the much more powerful part of this is the grassroots. And I think anybody who thinks that they can ignore that percentage of the population, I think, is kidding themselves."

「在 6 月 FIT21 加密法案在國會投票之前的兩週內，有 40 萬人註冊成為加密貨幣倡導者，這一事實讓你感受到社區的熱情是多麼真實，」他說。 「所以，可以肯定的是，有一個行業參與了所有這一切，但其中更強大的部分是草根階層。我認為，任何認為自己可以忽視這一比例人口的人都是在自欺欺人。 」。
